The area’s former longtime radio station WCKL-560AM will be returning to the airwaves on June 15 at 6a, says its general manager and chief engineer Brian Dodge of Ghent.
According to a story by Jim Planck at thedailymail.net, Dodge, who was brought on board in that position about a month ago by the station’s soon-to-be previous owner, the NYC-based Black United Fund of New York, is a key player for the forthcoming owner/licensee, Family Broadcasting & Media, LLC, and stayed on.
Dodge, who said he first became aware of WCKL about 15 months ago, said Thursday that all the paperwork has been signed, and that once it’s returned, he anticipates submitting a filing of the sale early next week, with FCC approval of the license currently pending.
“Right now, Harvest Broadcasting Services, of Worthington, Mass., has a time brokerage agreement with the Black United Fund of New York,” he said. “That will end after the sale is consummated.”
“WCKL is coming back full force,” said Dodge, who is no new hand at operating radio stations.
“We’re going local, live, 24 hours a day, June 15, ” Dodge said. “Everything will be fixed.”
